Beginner Guitar Songs ” There is a Much Easier and Faster Way to Learn the Guitar but You Can Go on Losing Money and Time If You Want!

People keep on saying that beginner guitar songs are normally hard to learn; you need either intensive private lessons or expensive online courses. And you always keep hearing one is better for this and that or that the other is perfect for a gazillion of reasons.

It’s really hard to believe that people keep on comparing private lessons with software and online courses (and vice versa), and yet no one seems to be mentioning that when combined correctly, these two can be a perfect solution to learn the guitar.

A comparison between these methods is wrong is so many ways that I really would need much more than an article to list them all.

Having someone to help you when you first learn the guitar – and also as you keep on developing your skills to intermediate and advanced levels – is of course handy and useful. The problem is that one hour a week (or maybe less if you can’t afford one hour) sadly would not cut it. It is very likely that you would need some extra help.

And on top of that, if for any reason you don’t get to learn what the instructor teaches you that week, you’ll actually have to spend the next lesson for the same topic, and also the week in between for practicing old drills.

And again, with a simple calculation assuming you take one lesson a week for $40 (which can actually be higher) and considering that to see a significant result you’d need at least 6 months of lessons (24 lessons to be exact), the bill you’d have to pay would be around $960 and most likely higher.

Now, you would think that’s an awful amount of money to spend, wouldn’t you? And you’d be one hundred percent right. So what should we do? Should we give up on our dream? Of course not! On the contrary, as I mentioned before, there is a very simple, yet very effective solution to this equation. You can simply take one private lesson to learn most necessary basics like how to hold the guitar, how to use your left hand, etc. and then go on with online courses until you need another private lesson (say in one or two months).

You can enroll in an online video course or buy an entire course for less than half the price of one private lesson (around $20 monthly for the first, and around $65 in total for the latter). Now add another $240 or $270 for one lesson a month. Yeah, that’s correct, you would only spend somewhere between $305 and $390. And maybe, you could buy yourself a brand new guitar to celebrate your new level since all of a sudden you found $700 in your pocket.
